and work execution plans
Effects from Implementing the Planning System
Increase in production volumes up to 2%
Reduction in planning labor intensity (and improved planning justification) by 25 - 80%
Reduction in reporting preparation efforts by 40 - 90%
Decrease in equipment downtime by up to 5%
Optimization of mining fleet size
Elimination of information quality loss during handovers

Optimization of Created Plans
Using the example of open-pit mining, simulation modeling allows for:
- Optimizing equipment allocation
- Optimizing the required quantity of equipment
- Accounting for haul distance variability
- Accounting for potential shift disruptions
- Accounting for blending requirements when forming the sequence and determining unloading points
- Accounting for dynamic truck dispatch principles if used in the pit
- Modeling excavation complexity depending on work location and blasting parameters
- As well as many other parameters and constraints
Key Capabilities:
- Maximizing the target planning parameter (hauled volume, extracted volume, OEE, etc.)
- Creating and comparing different plan versions
- Approving the resulting version as the Operational Plan
- Accounting for potential shift disruptions
- Generating planners' schedules and cycle diagrams for the created versions
